I was raised by a nurse with an associates degree and a steel mill electrician. I am not denigrating the value and dignity of blue collar work when I ask how many elite national media staffers are raising future bricklayers themselves. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

College degrees hold less value, while jobs in the trades are booming.

What an amazing book to read here in Berlin while recovering from extreme body abuse. It‘s history, a personal diary, and a tableau of linked observations about people and places. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

An oh-so-artistic still-life photo of the book "The Undercurrents" by Kirsty Bell, a coffee cup, a candle, a flyer about the upcoming music peoplesfestival.berlin event, and a Berlin Marathon hat.

Hallo Berlin 🇩🇪 ! Tomorrow I am going to take a leisurely stroll with around 58000 friends. May the sleep and poop deities look kindly upon me.

Preparing for a workshop on teaching critical thinking in STEM in light of current, let's say pressures, and decided I should start my talk with a slides that lays out the values that form my premises:

Slide header: Premises/values: Cards on the table

Bullet points:
* I care more about students’ learning than about the “accuracy” of grades or the prestige associated with a specific degree
* I want to work collaboratively with my students, rather than policing them
* I don’t want to spend any time reading, much less providing feedback on, something nobody wrote
* Science is a human, communal process; there is no knowing without knowers; and our work cannot be autocompleted
* Deep thinking and human connection are always more important than polish, speed, or “productivity”
* Research agendas should not be set by & for industry

I don’t remember any women profs at UChi math in my time but was struck then how there was a highly available and quite busy, but mere “instructor”, and /she/ was nice and patient with students and taught every quarter. I hope she had the career she wanted. Everyone should.

If someone attacks a synagogue because they're angry at Israel, that is antisemitism. It doesn't matter the reason they're angry. Targeting a synagogue because they need to take out their anger on Jewish people--and any Jewish place of worship will do--is antisemitism.

Feminists and specific women should aim, instead, not to achieve a reconciliation with men but to accumulate enough material power into our own hands so that men’s hatered no longer endangers our safety or constrains our prospects.

Something I've been thinking about since the AI hype started is that the inevitable end game here is that human interaction will only be for people who can afford to pay for it. This isn't accessibility, it's automated inequity
